Song Lyrics

Look around outside
Ain`t nothing to do but hang around
Think about all the stupid things that I`ve done
I guess I ain`t nothin` but a clown


If I had a wish, I swear I`d wish, I`d wish for just one thing
And I don`t even like to think about all the things my wish`d bring


`Cause I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
For a day


I wanna be oversexed and underworked and look at me I`m such a jerk

And I just wanna be James Dean
For a day


Think about stories of the actors and the movies stars
Sittin` here watchin` the old men drinkin` at the bar
I think about Dean and all the things he should`ve tried
I think about Dean and all the ways he could`ve died
Yeah died'¦


And I wouldn`t give a shit about anything `cause I`d be such a big movie star
And that don`t really do me much good just cryin` at the bar


But I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
For a day


See but I`m overworked and undersexed and look at me I`m such a wreck

And I just wanna be James Dean
For a day


Going crazy `cause I`m always all alone
Going crazy no one calls me on the phone
I think about Dean and I know Dean he wouldn`t care
If I was Dean I know there`d be somebody there
Yeah there`d be somebody there
For me'¦


Yeah I think about all the really cool things I could do and say
Then you go and tell me that you found out Dean was gay


No, I don`t wanna be James Dean
I don`t wanna be James Dean
I don`t wanna be James Dean
Anymore '¦
Hmmm'¦
